Although, I'm sure the majority of you guys are working pretty hard! XD
I just got rejected from NSLI-Y, again...not like I haven't been rejected twice from things before. I'm currently very sad right now, but at least I can do it next year (which gives me a bit of relief). (But I may have just lost the chance because I got confused with the deadline dates, which really kills me)
My mom gave me a hard time about it. She said she didn't want me to do it in the first place and said that I was too immature to do it...
I guess she's right.
So I'm just going to try my very best now...I thought I tried my best now, but since obviously I have yet to get any good results from it I guess I'll have to try even harder.
I guess this post is also to those who feel like they've been lazy...even if you've failed several times that just tells you that you should get up and fight stronger for your dreams.
So I will try and force myself to work on all the things I've set aside, if I like it or not. And work hard.
I was so focused on that program and learning languages that it took up most of my time, and also most of my excuses for doing nothing...
Which also means less time doing silly stuffs on the internet...XD (Like posting all the time...XD)...so this may mean I'll be on this site less...-ish...?
You can tell I don't like being exact...which is another thing I need work on. I just need to work on everything, I guess...XD
But the beauty of it all is that we have google to answer our questions and to help us out on EVERYTHING~! :D
Okay I'm done with that...XD
In other newsss...I just tried kimchi with potatoes and it was SOOO YUMMY~! X3 So I suggest you try some, too!
I also got a (very random) art book of Norman Rockwell. It's not a very good book because they combined famous literature quotes in it...I mean, I guess that may sound like a good idea but I prefer to know about the artist rather than have a theme of the book. But I guess it'll help me with Academic Team...XD
Norman Rockwell is my favourte American artist. He's the only person I've seen that makes happy art...not gothic, dark, edge-y, any of that kind of art. Sure, some of it looks a bit creepy, but it all has a sweet charm.
Lately I've felt the need to write an essay or something about why anime is art because the more I look at the famous art the more I realize how wrong the people are that look down on anime (even though it's technically manga...XD).
Also, there really is no style...it's like saying realism style...I mean, there probably is a realism style...it's called realism...but manga...manga is like another dimension. It's not realism, it's not semi-realism, it's manga...liiiike the next dimension of art. I mean, it's not even really a style, it's a way of drawing. It's an art form.
I mean, it just obviously is. Just like realism, 3-D art, typography, etc. is an art form so is anime.
I understand these colleges and whatever wanting people to create their own art form...but it's just impossible to give yourself complete freedom...because with that freedom you're excluding yourself from stuff like anime etc..
Next time somebody asks me why I draw what I draw I'll have to go into much detail. It's the lines, it's the emotion, manga just delivers their message so much clearer than realism and with so much energy. That's what I feel most art forms do not stand a chance to. The emotion that an anime styled picture gives you is different than any kind of art form I've seen (besides illustration, kinda).
Somehow I'd like to show this love for manga and all my other passions in art to prove to the critics that they are wrong to criticize.
Okay, woah, sorry for the almost dramatic post...XD And for the ranting. I was in a good mood today
...let's see a happy-dappy-crappy picture~! :D
Okay! Bye-bye~!
